Viewers pleaded with Ant and Dec to help fix the glitch, with one tweeting: “@itvtakeaway I can’t enter the win the ads competition online, it won’t load anywhere.”
Another wrote: “Guys can’t apply for win the ads it says bad gateway.”

Other fans claimed the technical problem was also stopping them from entering the competition to be a part of the show’s big finale.

During tonight’s show, Ant revealed they would be taking lucky viewers on a holiday of a lifetime to the US.

He explained: “This year the Saturday Night Takeaway series finale will be coming live from Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. It’s going to be incredible.
